So much I can say...I found a lot of true good friends in here.I am sure of that...a lot of them to mention[some requested for privacy, lolz]People from nowhere, on the chat room we interfere.So what's new with it? asking Nasl? not at all.Deeper than that...while ticking the clock.Knitting of words and aspirations...Sharing of dreams and even depressions.But be aware of many masks that is maybe worn by some.Got to find real one?Importantly, we should just be true to ourselves, so others be true unto us.If it wouldn't work, it's not your loss.Avoid having a hidden agenda, and if your have...Reveal your purpose, keep up for those.Nothing more surprising, than you being surprised by the fruit of your intentions.Don't get tired...find place to stay [Tunacity Channel, for instance, hehe]Along the way, a lot of people same as who you are.Chat freely... and live freely...Build wonderful relationships along the way..Until when you can truly say: I got real friend in you"...Now, have you found same thing on me?

True Friends COme and Go but even they leave you, still they're there when u need themIn this world of Mirc, true friend never exists...true friends can be found at the real world, not in this world create by computer geeks

From the experiences of others and mine, these are the categories I have come up with.

The obligatory friend: You have been working for four years now, and suddenly, your ex-classmate calls you up from nowhere. "Remember, I used to sit at the front of the class?" she exclaims. You are invited cordially to have lunch with her the next day. Of course, you would go. What kind of a person are you otherwise? The problem is, you find the lunch extremely boring, or find this gal to be a total bigot and don't want to meet her again. She, for some unknown reason, loves your company. When the thank you note arrives with a second invitation, words fail you. It could be an old neighbor, whom you always hated secretly, a distant cousin, a ? you get the drift, right?

The 'dumb' friend: This is the dude who thinks that except 'Armageddon', every other movie is a chick-flick. He gets a mighty headache when you talk about some thing intelligent for more than five minutes. He hates standards, brings every thing down to his own petty level and generally make you feel so empty that you want to rush back home and watch '2001, a space odyssey' (or whatever your favorite cerebral move is) one more time. For the sake of your sanity, dump him. Dumb to Dump. See, how easy it is?

The friend who never calls: Make that the friend who never calls/writes/chats/emails. We all have these kind of 'friends'. We keep throwing the ball into their court again, since we feel it's the 'nice thing to do'. Try this method. Wait for them to take the initiative. You would be surprised how many folks don't call you at all. This might bruise your self-esteem a bit, but it will free up loads of time.

The friend who keeps 'putting you down': In the name of humor, this friend makes fun of you. She is always teasing you, whining about your faults and generally making your life miserable. Again, get out of this kind of 'friendship' as fast as you can. You already have your own negative thoughts to keep you company, and you don't need these people too.

The friend who blackmails you emotionally: I knew this dude who used to make everybody feel guilty about not being enough 'friendly' with him. He would remember every single birthday, every single anniversary and every single goddamned occasion to send you a greeting. And then he would sulk, when people didn't reply him in kind. This guy will drain your energies like the proverbial siphon.

The friend who needs to be 'saved': Are you kidding? Unless you are a psychiatrist paid for your services, don't make friends with people who are sad, melancholic, negative and have a bad smell. Unless they want to change, you can't make them. Only in fairy tales are, 'Damsels in distress' saved by princes. If you still feel you are living in a fairy tale, hit the 'X' sign at the far end of the browser right now.

Friends you make because you need them: "I have kids. And they need some company. So I need to make friends with this family down the road. I need somebody to go out to lunch with, at work." These are the reasons generally offered by people when you ask them, why they grit their teeth and bear with some of their friends. As the wise man in 'Indiana Jones and the last crusade' says, "Choose wisely." The first person you are going to run into is not always the best person.

The friend who's nice only to you: So you have this friend who uses other people, lies, plays dirty to get ahead in life, but is on great terms with you. All that matters is how he treats you, right? Wrong! This might sound obvious, but the first and foremost basis of friendship is integrity. Like, would you really have believed Hitler to be a nice guy, if he was being chummy with you? (Unless, of course, you were one of those skinheads roaming in Berlin to crack open the skulls of those pesky foreigners.)
